both of these are not really unusual, but one, Gilley's was one of the largest honky tonks in Texas. the other, Gruene Hall is one of the oldest dnacehalls in Texas. both have some wonderful history behind them. i never got the opportunity to go the the original Gilley's, but it was a place my father hung out in the 60's. Gruene hall is one of my favorite places to visit when i go to New Braunfels.
